          Mr. S. in 1990, and sustain respondent’s determination only to              
          that extent.                                                                
               Respondent determined that petitioner had unreported escort            
          income of $200 in 1989 from an individual named Eric K.  A check            
          in the amount of $200, dated June 23, 1989, was made payable to             
          cash, written by Eric K., and endorsed by Jane M., who provided             
          escort services to customers pursuant to petitioner’s                       
          arrangements.  In these circumstances, and because the check was            
          deposited into the Real Services’ account controlled by                     
          petitioner, we sustain respondent’s determination.                          
               Respondent determined that petitioner had unreported escort            
          income of $875 in 1989 and $875 in 1990 from Ronald K.                      
          Respondent’s figures reflect seven escort sessions per year at              
          $125 per session.  Mr. K. testified on cross-examination,                   
          consistently with respondent’s determination, that he received              
          escort services arranged by petitioner on 12 to 15 occasions                
          during the 2-year period 1989 through 1990.  He also testified              
          that he paid approximately $125 per occasion.  Petitioner’s                 
          contention that she paid $875 of this amount in 1990 to furnish             
          mud wrestlers at an event sponsored by Mr. K. was contradicted by           
          him, and we do not accept it.  Accordingly, we sustain                      
          respondent’s determination.                                                 
               Respondent determined that petitioner had unreported escort            
          income of $6,000 in 1989 and $6,000 in 1990 from an individual
